URGENT-URGENT- DRUG RECALL.
Permalink Closed

just recieved an e-mail from fitpro.


I dont know where to post it but to the admin, feel free to move this announcement.


URGENT-URGENT- DRUG RECALL.



All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE

All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.  You may want to
try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a

REFUND.  Please read this CAREFULLY.  Also, please pass this on to everyone you
know.



STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient.  It has been linked to
increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain) among women ages 18-49 in
the three days after starting use of medication. Problems were not found in men,
however, the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek an

alternative medicine.



The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine:



Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant

Acutrim Plus Dietary Supplements

Acu trim Maximum Strength Appetite Control

Alka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medicine

Effervescent Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine (cherry or orange)

Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine Original

Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Cough Medicine

Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Flu Medicine

Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Sinus Effervescent

Alka Seltzer Plus Night-Time Cold Medicine

Robitussin CF

Tavist-D 12 Hour Relief of Sinus & Nasal Congestion

Triaminic DM Cough Relief

Triaminic Expectorant Chest & Head

Triaminic Syrup Cold & Allergy

Triaminic Triaminicol Cold & Cough



I just found out and called the 800# on the container for Triaminic and they
informed me that they are voluntarily recalling the following medicines because
of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children:



Orange 3D Cold &Allergy Cherry (Pink)

3D Cold &Cough Berry

3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant



They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with the lot number on The box
so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them, and they will also
issue you a refund.



If you know of anyone else with small children, PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THIS IS
SERIOUS STUFF! DO PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are
informed. They can then pass it along to their families.



To confirm these findings please take time to check the following URL:

Sorry to be negative to a seemingly negative news.

We've asked doctors (both online and local - personally), while the threat is true, the dosages in released OTC versions are all safe. Overdose will give your these problems but not regular dosages.

This has been confirmed.

In short, this is NOT a hoax, but it is an overblown report.
